GC coilover problem?
so, i recently bought a set of used koni yellow's and GC coilovers off a buddy of mine. they are in good shape and everything, and i'm sure everything will work fine.. but the problem is that the allen head bolt, on one of the coilovers that tightens the adjuster ring on the sleeve is stripped... what are my options here?
and the other 3 bolts on the other one's are SUPER tight, and i don't want to strip them too... what should i do?
any ideas will help.. thanks

take a bigger allen wrench and try to force it in there with a hammer or something. then use some squirl ****(sea foam) lubricant and lube it up. that will prolly work

oddly enough thats actually the EXACT first thing i tried. it was even seafoam i used..
didn't work though. it felt like it was starting to strip again, so i stopped. the bolts are in super tight, or are siezed. thanks for the try..
the bolts aren't reverse threaded are they????
i doubt it, but ya never know.

id suggest drilling them out. and don't ever tighten them down that tight. It doesn't need to be tight at all. but its a safety precaution.

thanks guy's. it looks like i'm just gonna have to drill them out.. unfortunatly.
and it wasn't me who tightened them in the first place... i have no idea who did, but i think i hate them now.
